Hi Manishshirsat,
I actually was able to do the prerequisite checking and it worked like a charm.
The part that was very odd to me was that the bundle was registering itself in
addition to my main application. So, if the user uninstalled my main
application from Add/Remove programs and then

I'll give my opinion...
I use a combination of WiX and InstallShield so Merge Modules are my only
viable choice as fragments only work internally to WiX. Generally, if
you are building the merge module in house and consuming it in house, then
I think merge modules have a valid place. Howev

I think you'll need to update the SDK include and lib

The BundleId is most like the PackageCode in MSI. It is unique for every
build. There is no way to set it (just like we're removing the ability to
set the MSI PackageCode... that was a design mistake).
Your BA will get OnDetectRelatedBundle() callbacks. If you have two bundles
with the same version
That is not supported today. Why would you need to do this?

I would add it to the wix-contrib (http://wixcontrib.codeplex.com) project
first and if it gets stable we can bring it into a future version of WiX

That does not exist in the engine today. Burn attempts to access the source
as late as possible because there are so many things that can go wrong when
accessing media. Your BA could try to do it (but I would obviously not
recommen it :) You'll also want to think about the case when the engine is

Hi,
I need a custom action that adds a security group to the system. AFAIK
wix does not support that.
As that is a general purpose ca, I'm thinking of contributing it to the
wix source directly, instead of creating a private ca project.
Would such a contribution be welcome?
My appoach would be
That does seem like the bug fixed quite a while ago in WiX v3.6.

I am having a problem with an uninstall that rolls back and crashes on 64 bit
Wix 3.5 setups.
We get the following error message in the Event logs:
00 ntdll!RtlReportCriticalFailure(long StatusCode = 0n2, void * FailureInfo =
0x07fe`0023)+0x62 [d:\win7sp1_gdr\minkernel\ntos\rtl\rtlutil.
I've been getting similar errors, however when I build again they seem
to go. I had it on a build a few versions back but then it seemed to
go and now has come back. As it builds fine the second time, it's just
an irritation for me...

It's used to fix up short paths written by self-reg, so yeah, still
necessary unless we can kill off all code written in the 90s.

Try cranking up the verbosity inside Visual Studio and compare command

hii everyone,
I am also having same king of issue.
bootstrapper should enable .NET framework feature (for win7 and above)
rather than asking for installing it..
i have spent 2-3 days to figuring this out but found nothing.
Any help appreciated.
Thanx.

If I pass "/?" on XP or Win7, I get "ignored" as the command line argument. If
I pass obvious variables (i.e. INSTALLDIR=), then those arguments are
passed through along with the "ignored" string. The Command.CommandLine =
"ignored INSTALLDIR=", so I could hard-code that i
Awesome, thank you very much. I think that it is all figured out now

You can achieve this by searching the values that let you know about the
